prodrive recaro classic
 

I want these in my classic.
Do i sit lower in them?
Are they much heavier as the stock ones?
Regards

Do you mean the ones that Prodrive fitted as an option?

AFAIK, they sit the same as the standard seats.

If you mean aftermarket seats, sorry, I can't help. Never been tempted, not worth the hassle.......

id perfer a lower seat position if possible

Ah, right.

Depends what it's out of.
If from a classic, it should sit the same height, but if it's come from a newage, it will sit higher and NOT be as supportive, since they are now made for "larger" people. ;)

I think the seats in the picture were only fitted in classics so the height should be the same. I've got proper bucket seats in my classic and they are about the best mod I have done to the car.

What do you have? And any pics?

Sparco prodrive seats.

They make you feel part of the car.

Very nice........but not very adjustable?

OK for a youngster, but for us older guys, not so good.

I used to have some similar in an Escort, but soon tired of the "one size and shape fits all" approach.

But I agree, they do make you feel part of the car, chucking it about becomes easier.

The trouble with the JDM Classic STi seat's are they are too narrow across the shoulders for me. Made for little Japanese chap's.

Do i sit lower if i put version 7 seats in my version 3?

You'll sit higher.

V7 would count as new age so no.

Ok so where do i get seat rails for recaro seats to fit honds type r or evo recaros?
Regards

What's wrong with the Recaros you showed a pic of? I'd have those......

i like them but id perfer a complete black trim
and i dont need electrical adjustment ( or do i have the possibility to be lower with this system )

Lol yes you knew what I meant.
I found the runners on eBay brand new being sold by someone. They were listed at 99p start bid so I sent seller a message offering him a £20 + p&p buy it now. He never replied and I ended up winning them for £6.50 + p&p :norty:
I brought the seats off a mate for £350

lucky guy :luxhello:

I know mate, very lucky. Couldn't have been listed at a better time. No idea how much they are new from a dealer?

Jelous :notworthy

they are classed as electric, but there only part electric. very comfortable though and do hold you well. looks liek there reclothed version of the evo seats on this thread
